Punxsutawney Phil
How much would a woodchuck suck if a woodchuck lost all his luck ?
Phil didn't have an answer to this diddy
Accounting for his life as a woodchuck
On second day of February he'll have one ready
Punxsutawney Phil was resting steadily
When he was pulled from hibernation
Climate change had him thinking already
If his shadow casts an El Niño prediction
Long winter or early spring
Meteorologist don't depend on a rodent
But Groundhog Day is a traditional thing
In Punxsutawney it is really important
If Phil predicts an early spring he'll have a reason
In Pennsylvania billions of cicadas will be emerging
It'll be a wonderfully early season
Every lucky groundhog will be feasting
